Shoe Box SWAP

I made this card in preperation of a ShoeBox SWAP I am in at Claire Lawrence's house this Saturday. I used Real Red Cardstock, and the Naturals White, and Glorious Green. The stamp is from "Give Thanks". I used the Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils to color the image, and the Real Red cardstock is sponged using Certain Celery stamp pad.

Shelli Gardner and me!

Monthly Card Club

Have you always wanted to learn how to make your own handmade cards? Are you a beginner stamper, or just want a night of crafting outside the house? Would you like to meet some new local stampers?
Then I have the class for you!!! Each month I hold a Card Club in my home. The days of the week vary (depending on hubby's schedule) and I can offer a alternative date if need be.
The cost is only $12 for 6 cards of two designs, or $14 for the cards with envelopes. Each month you will have a choice of which sentiments you'd like to use. You can't get cards from the Card store for that much! Attend 9 classes receive the 10th for FREE!!! And the best thing, you can say you made it yourself!
Check here for a list of upcoming classes: www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/Gina_Thornton/eventsDo you want to have a card making night at your home with your friends? I can do that too! Contact me to set up a date!
